ci vitest fails "handle integrity checks" on Windows Node.js 23

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

When running corepack yarn test on Windows with Node.js 23.x the test fails with:

FAIL tests/main.test.ts > handle integrity checks > should return an error when signature does not match with a tag

The issue does not occur on Windows with Node.js 18, 20 or 22, for example Node.js 22.13.0 LTS.

This is a problem preventing CI updating to testing on Node.js 23. At this time it is not identified as an end-user issue.

Steps to reproduce

Windows 11 24H2
Node.js v23.0.0 or v23.6.0
Use Drive C: for clone

It is also reproducible in GitHub runners windows-2022 and windows-2025

git clone https://github.com/nodejs/corepack
cd corepack
corepack yarn add [email protected] -D # until PR #594 is merged
corepack yarn build
corepack yarn run vitest --run

or to only run the test section which fails:

corepack yarn run vitest -t "handle integrity checks" --run

The assertion is set here: https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/be8eec8c5a99bcce5a1b8435237dad588cfd9f28/src/win/async.c#L76

We could try updating the other dev dependencies (in particular, the Yarn fslib that's listed in the error message). If that doesn't help, it might be worth opening as an issue on the libuv repo as it could be an upstream bug.

Thank you for looking at this. I did try updating dependencies i.e.

corepack yarn add better-sqlite3@latest -D
corepack yarn up
corepack yarn build
corepack yarn test

however that still failed in the same way on Windows 11 with Node.js 23.6.0.

As you say, it could be an upstream issue.

I don't have the skills and experience to solve this. I also wouldn't be the right person to open an issue on libuv without having the necessary level of understanding.
